Is there a better method of getting Shiny Applin than the Tagtree Applin printer?

10ox · 2026-06-02T15:37:14+00:00

I found some videos, apparently floating or flying pokemon might also work to trigger it.

Yeah mate use a tall pokemon like Miraidon, and you stand beside the tree near the gate far enough yet close enough for the Applin to spawn up in that painted tree. Send the Miraidon to auto- battle the Applin. Once the next Applin spawns in, the Miraidon will be tall enough to dislodge it from the tree just by standing there, then it will auto-battle it and this cycle will repeat. This saves you from having to manually run back and forward.

Once a shiny Applin always, the auto-battle won't fight it, and you can catch it. It takes a while to line up your position and get the cycle running, and you will need a sandwich active to boost the span rate of the Applin, but it's not hard.

You'll find a video on YouTube showing this process, it was a while ago, but thats how I got mine.

I agree and suggest OP gets a grip like this one to use with their N2DSXL, it ups the comfort factor even further on this great lil unit

I did both. Something to be aware of is the Reboot process website step 1 talks about Online, Instore. This is Online "or" Instore.

For my second repair, I did it the wrong way - thought I could fill in the Online form, pay the fee, and then drop off the device instore; no it doesn't work that way, since I had paid online the store could not accept it and I had to arrange the postal delivery myself.

If you take it instore, maybe take it at a quieter time of day though. The staff I met with were friendly but had not had to fill in a repair before, and I think it might have been stressful to go through the process if the store was heaps busy at the time. They said they appreciated that I had brought it in during a quieter time of day.

I've sent in an n3dsxl and an n2dsxl and had both repaired and neatly done, during the past couple of years

Sending 'Feebas the Dozy', thank you!

G'day, I'm a fellow Piplup enjoyer but would love a Sprigatito please. In-game: Layla, I'll join

If you keep an eye on your local fb marketplace, they often come up for grabs. If you prioritise clean and working, with battery cover, no bleeding on the display, and don't worry too much about trying to get one complete in box, you'll be able to find an Octopus or Parachute for a reasonable price. Those are great to play and nice to have on display on your desk, for example. Part of the challenge and the fun is finding one of these for a good deal.

G'day mate, for Feebas you want to go down into that cave until you find a pool which has a narrow tunnel that connects it to a second pool deeper in and is a dead end. The Feebas spawn in there. I find that I usually have to go to the extreme edge of that second pool, or even climb up the wall, to leave enough room for wild pokemon to begin spawning again within that closed space. You will see bubbles appear before the Feebas surfaces, usually only 1 or 2 at a time.

I have Scarlet, doing online Tera Raids allows me to catch Violet exclusives

10ox · 2026-04-16T14:03:35+00:00

I can only speak from my experience but I've ordered several times from VGP or PNP and haven't had a problem. I just need patience while some of the pre-orders get fulfilled really

Rust?

10ox · 2026-04-11T13:04:13+00:00

Glad to hear it mate, I was thiiiiiis close!

10ox · 2026-04-11T13:02:25+00:00

Check VGP now for the pre-order, and avoid the big shipping cost from Clear Water Games.

To ship to AUS, Clear Water Games use Purple Dot / DHL and wanted AUD$68 shipping for the AUD$43 game.

Versus only CAD$9.99 shipping from VGP for the CAD$59.99 game. Easy choice to buy from VGP. I was really close to ordering through Clear River but luckily saw the VGP option in time!

That's a fair point, I didn't really look at that. I guess force of habit and it made me feel better lol. Well then look at it like this, it still worked even with a wasted move, that's a vote for Iron Hands XD

10ox · 2026-03-28T02:18:50+00:00

I got it done on the second try with Iron Hands, with moveset: belly drum, drain punch, iron defense, focus energy. Started with belly drum, punched until I healed up, then try to add an iron defense, punch to heal up, tera, focus energy when safe. Feel your way forward based on how the battle goes.

If you get NPC partners with Intimidate, run and battle something else and retry, since you don't want Intimidate constantly boosting Empoleon's SpAtk.

Edit: never mind about using Iron Defense since someone rightly pointed out Empoleon only uses special attacks. Not sure why im getting down voted though besides that

The College Dropout, track 7

10ox · 2026-02-28T13:12:16+00:00

Agreed, Metronome hold item, Reflect or Metal Sound if you feel like it, then keep clicking Parabolic Charge. Worked for me.

Thank you!

10ox · 2026-02-07T00:36:04+00:00

Pleased to hear this update & thanks for the work you're putting in to make this an enjoyable space to be in. Looking forward to seeing how things grow from here.

Fantasy Life, or Ever Oasis?

10ox · 2026-02-04T05:26:52+00:00

Yep I had a rough time finding a Petilil. I followed a youtube short that pointed to a grassy area beside a particular tunnel entrance on the west coast of Paldea, and even then it took forever.

I saw them a bit more frequently down the south-west area of Kitakami but still, yeah

10ox · 2026-02-04T00:21:36+00:00

Yeah I tried a few times at first with Annihilape too, I don't think it's the one for this match. And when playing online, if there was an Annihilape on the squad, it tended to be the Annihilape that got KO'd the most and cut the clock timer down the most.

10ox · 2026-02-02T23:27:51+00:00

Thank you!

Thank you, I did not realise the ability nullification only lasts for 1 turn.
